Ljubomir Vranjes: I think the Kielce is one of the strongest opponent in our group, both at their home and away. What we did today was a 60 minutes long hard fight and after it we awarded us with one point. I am very proud of how our team was standing together in this hall today. The last ten minutes was very difficult because they had the lead and we were punished by some suspension. But always the small things are decisive in the final moments and now it resulted one point for us and that is big thing. We still work on our development and to be better in the next games. I think our team improves very quickly.
Blaz Blagotinsek: We are very satisfied with this match, it is a great one point for us. We were playing very hard 60 minutes long. In the last ten minutes we were defending and fighting for each other like the brothers. I liked very much how we helped each other and our goalkeeper had important saves at the end.
Tomasz Strzabala (second coach): This one point is as important for us as for the Veszprém. But we rather can be more satisfied with our performance than the gained one point. This was one of the best games for us in this season so far. It is very important for us that we could score 32 goals against such a great defense like the Veszprém has. But we can be satisfied with our defense as well because our 5-1 system works better and better. We can be optimistic for the future after this game. On Wednesday a very important championship match waits for us in Plock.
Alex Dujshebaev: Congratulations for Veszprém to their performance today because it is not easy to get a point in our home. They were playing very well and hard 60 minutes long. It was a very difficult game against them. In the end we missed a clear shot while they could score in their decisive moment.
